Recently, I was commissioned by a local Toronto collector to produce a pop sculpture of a comic book character.

When I started modelling the figure and working out the basic forms,I started to play around and worked out in detail the anatomical structure.Although I never intended to produce an ecorche' figure for this project and of course it's not what the client wants instead I thought it would be fun to build the figure step by step and post some of the process on my blog.

Technically for those interested, the model is made of a soft microcrystalline wax which I had purchased from a local art store. The nice thing about wax I find is it's soft enough to model with fingers but still hard enough to get great detail using metal tools.

The scale of the figure is 1:6.
The height of the model at this time from top of the hands to mid thigh is 21 cm.
